Notes[edit]

  1. ^ a b c d This list of consonant inventories and vowel inventories are based on 香港粵語大詞典 (2018).[1] The transcriptions of vowels, consonants and tones in IPA, Jyutping (J) and Yale romanization (Y) are based on Cantonese: A Comprehensive Grammar, 2nd ed. (2011)[2] and 香港粵語大詞典 (2018).
  • ^ a b c d e Glosses are displayed over the dotted line. (Instructions: for desktop computers, hover your mouse cursor over it; for iOS mobile browsers, request desktop website on your toolbar and then click on the dotted line; for Android mobile browsers, it is unavailable). Vocabulary examples are drawn from 香港粵語大詞典 (2018).[3]
  • ^ Omitted when it precedes the nucleus [y].
  • ^ [s] appears as [ʃ] in other sources.[1][2]
  • ^ [ts] appears as [] in other sources.[1][2]
  • ^ [tsʰ] appears as [tʃʰ] in other sources.[1][2]
  • ^ a b c d e f g h i The gliding non-syllables may be less explicitly transcribed with syllables, such that the non-syllabic [j] represented as syllabic [i], [w]as[u], and [ɥ]as[y].
  • ^ a b c [ɵ] appears as [ø] in other sources.[1][2]
  • ^ The so-called 7th, 8th and 9th tones are not officially marked as such in Jyutping (J)[2] and Yale romanization (Y).[1] They are officially marked as the 1st, 3rd and 6th tones respectively.[1]
